Lang was an artist associated with the artists’ colony in Woodstock, New York. In 1939 and 1940, while he was in New Orleans working on several W. P. A. projects, Lang made a series of wonderfully atmospheric pen and wash drawings which capture the steamy, sub-tropical climate of that city. Lang took part in a W. P. A. exhibition in New York City of artists from the South.
